Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Chad, I hope I'm not asking to betray a trade secret, but where do you get your buckles and buttons and what size do you use?
I was looking at the "Rio Rondo" site but wasn't sure what to order.
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

If anyone wants to make the Gun shirt - I've found the serenity version of the design for the chest and the arm.

Send me a PM for them =]
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Here's how my Mal is looking at the moment:

We also have an alternate shirt, but I couldn't be bothered changing the shirt, too much hassle lol

Still need to get the rigs from stevos toys and wait for the correct bodies to come to I can mod the Mal head and get it painted up.
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Looks awesome so far!

A few questions:

1. What boots are you using and where did you get them?
2. How did you do the strip down his pants? It looks great and I might want to replicate that.

Thanks!
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

The boots are the Albert Wesker ones from hot toys, repainted

The strip on his trousers ais 3mm brown grosgrain fabric that I glued on.
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

So what do Mal's (Firefly or Serenity) boots look like?

There's nothing out there that looks THAT close to Mal's actual Firefly boots...I like my NLM boots because of their color, height and the material they're made out of. You just have to pick some criteria that are important to you. That is unless someone does some heavy modding to some existing boots!
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Thanks MM, those NLM do look like they'd be the closest version.
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

I'm thinking of modding the boots to be more accurate, or rather, getting come plastic jackboots and modding them to be more accurate.
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Seems like adding the piping to a pair would do the trick.
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Yeah, I'm thinking adding some wire on the toe, then sculpting the ridge at the top of the piping then sculpting the bit at the top too
 
Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Yahoo...I got my headsculpts back today from my painter and took a few pics of them for myself.

I just sent a few emails out to those who were interested in getting a hold of me for assistance with theirs.

Now its my turn to start putting my stuff together.

Wow! Those look great! Really beautiful clean paintwork. I guess my only 'criticism' (and that's too harsh a word, really) is that I wouldn't mind more Jayne paintups to have a darker goatee.

But that's just my preference! excellent quality work!!

:slapUPDATE:

I have a prototype of the Jayne hat done and I just got a hold of some colors that should work for the final versions. Talk about a pain in the neck...I didn't think it would be that tough to find the colors in that small of a sock yarn.
I hope to have a few done towards the end of next week and ready for early April purchase...as long as the interest is still there. I hope they turn out to everyones approval.
I am going to do a couple of test screen prints for the Jayne Blue Sun Tank tomorrow afternoon and hopefully I will get some clean prints. If I do, I will start making a couple of them.

A lot going on I know.......but what would life be without so much going on.


OH...and on a personal note...I finally will get a chance to start making my own Mal Coat, Jayne items and Zoe stuff for myself...Minus the vest...:slap
